Even Hall of Fame athletes are taken aback by the president Donald Trump’s golf game.
Former NFL quarterback Brett Favre has been seen playing golf with Trump since August 2020 and spoke about his experience playing with Trump in an X post on Monday.
“For those asking who won the golf game between me and [Trump] — let’s just say President Trump is a REALLY GOOD competitor,” Favre wrote.

When Trump and Favre played golf in 2020, Trump praised the former quarterback’s golf skills.
“Brett LOVES Wisconsin, Mississippi and Minnesota. Good golfer – hits LONG!” Trump wrote on X, then known as Twitter.

“He was as nice and engaging as he could be, given the kind of stress he’s under,” Favre said in an interview with Fox News at the time. “But I will say this: I respect the office of the President of the United States, regardless of who is in office. If Barack Obama, George Bush, Bill Clinton, anybody during my era, had asked me to play golf, they would have jumped at the chance, simply because, regardless of what they believe, it’s an honor just to be asked.”
Then Favre added that he was “very impressed” with Trump’s golf game.

“We had a couple of holes where we picked up, no scores were penciled in, but, for the most part, he can play,” Favre said. “He hits the ball really well, and I’ll tell you this, he’s a fast golfer. There were times when I had a 140-yard shot and he was up there on the green with his putter, ready to go.”
Trump also played golf with Tom BradyBrooks Koepka, Dustin Johnson and Johnny Damon.
